Hi -

I'm having some difficulty getting loaded from the
Walnut Creek CD:

1) It looks for a CD at 0x300; my SoundBlaster 16ASP
   can only be at 220, 240, 260, or 280. How can I
   change the I/O @ of /dev/mcd0?

2) I was able to get most of the system by putting a
   DOS (Yecch!) partition on the disk & copying the 
   distributions to it, but I can't create a directory
   called xfree86-3.1 due to the filename length res-
   trictions of DOS. Is there any hope of ever getting
   X on my system? Anyway, the directory name on the CD 
   is XFREE86_, but the install routine looks for the
   other name.

3) Once I have gotten some of the system loaded, how
   can I install additional packages without going 
   through the install procedure which newfs's every-
   thing? Sysinstall didn't seem to want to let me
   do this either.

Tx,

Duke Smith
